Ten on Tuesday (5)

So I assumed that SC would always have class on Tuesday nights and that we would always spend that night together. But just when I started this ToT things with him, he changes his schedule. I’m going to attempt to get him to answer the questions over text. We’ll see how it goes…

Also, I’m drugged up no Benadryl at the moment, so I may seem wacky.

1. What is the weather like in your city today?
Me: Hot! It’s the first day that I’ve been sitting in my house actually wishing I had already installed my swamp cooler. But I’m sure we’ll have a freak windstorm tomorrow to cool us off. The weather never stays the same here for long.

SC: Well it was sunny. We had a high of 80 and a slight west to east breeze.

2. Do you like the zoo?

Me: It’s not my favorite place, only because I always seem to get a sunburn, but I like to go from time to time. I actually love to go to places like the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom where they have the animals running (relatively) free. It makes me feel better. And it seems more like a real safari, which is totally cooler.

SC: I haven’t been in a long time but yes, I like it.

3. Do you eat coconut?

Me: Only on Samoas or crumb donuts. So I guess only when it’s in the browned state. How do they even do that? I don’t even care. It’s good.

SC: Yes.

4. Have you ever hammered a nail? Are you good at it?

Me: I hammer foot long stakes into the ground regularly, and I’m not too bad at that. I had to build up the muscle for it at first, but 5 years in I’m pretty good. Nails, I don’t know. I don’t even own a hammer at home so I usually hang anything up by thumb tack or I get a little nail and hammer it with my heaviest tool (lately it’s been pliers).

SC: Yes, I have hammered many nails in my time. And yes, I’m good at it.

5. Does your family have a vacation destination that you visit often?

Me: We go camping at the Kern River every year. It’s one of my favorite places ever. I used to want to get married there.

SC: As far as family goes, not for a long time.

6. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Me: I have four on my bed, two on each side. I usually sleep on two at a time, but one of them has to be fluffy!

SC: I use only one pillow. (Me: And it’s the flattest thing ever and I don’t know how he does it!)

7. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?

Me: Check my phone calls and messages. Play Words with Friends, Pocket Frogs, and Trade Nations. Then I get on the computer and check out blogs, twitter, facebook, etc. while drinking my cup of coffee. Then I either get ready for my day or catch up on some TV shows from the previous night.

SC: Uh, I wake up and get dressed. lol

8. Will you send your kids to summer camp?
Me: If they want to go and if I can afford it, of course.

SC: Yes.
Me: Yes for sure? Any details? What if they don’t want to go?
SC: Yes, because I always wanted to go. But if they don’t want to I won’t force them.

9. What do you put in your baked potatoes?
Me: LOTS of butter and salt. That’s it.

SC: Butter, sour cream, and pepper.

10. Did you take swimming lessons as a kid?
Me: Nope. My aunts used to throw me across the pool to each other and watch me swim/drown as I attempted to reach them. It was very traumatic. They laugh at me, I still blame them.

SC: Nope.

Other Ten on Tuesdays that I’m loving: Ashley, Stevie, and of course, the hostess Chelsea.
